# Category Count (yet again)

 * Hello WordPress community,
 * I was wondering how one would do a query where it’d retrieve the category count
   from a specific cat_id.
 * It has to be just the number though. I’m planning to use it in a for loop to 
   generate some different things.
 * Thanks in advance!

 * Sorry for bothering the community again, but I was wondering if anyone has a 
   solution to my problem? I still haven’t figured it out.
 * Some clarification: I’m looking for a way to output the number of articles from
   a specific category.

 * Maybe this link might be helpful? The keyword you’re looking for is probably ‘
   post count’.
